Eating foods that are nutrient dense such as whole-grain breads , cereals, rice, beans, pasta,
vegetables, and fruits are thus considered to be nutrient dense. They not only are high in
carbohydrates, but supply other nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, protein, and fiber.
By comparison, sweet foods that are high in sugar, such as candy bars, donuts, and cook-
ies, contain carbohydrates but they are not considered nutrient dense because they are
also high in fat and contain only insignificant amounts of vitamins and minerals. This is
why such foods are often referred to as supplying "empty" calories.
